Project: snow's Vette

[snowboi1289]

You all are the voters,so you all should say if its competition worthy(not trying to be mean).I know if I had my Firebird done,you all would love it,but I want it to be PERFECT.

I'm going to try to get a picture of my uncles Vette.


noturday,just picture your Vette,with a lighter red.. It will prolly have the same wheels,its will have the same wheels for now but I dont know bout in the future.

deffinately stick with those wheels. either that or find some stock ones. those are just about the only wheels that look good on vettes. the g35 ones (the ones you have on it now) kind-of resemble C5 Z06 wheels. and since the xmod body is a C5 it fits well. im pretty sure i started that whole trend with the g35 rims on the vette haha.

is the red you're using a metallic red as well? the maroon on my vette is, i was going for a 50th anniversary red on mine, and if i had had all of the stock parts on the targa body i did it would have been the same color, and not a beater body.

Nope,mine is just gloss red.I'm fixing to spray 1 clear coat,and let it site for approx. 3-6 hours,then spray one last clear coat,then wait about a day or 2,then it should almost be done.I'll try to get pictures today.

I'm really mad.The reason why,is the paint is bad,it looks like crap.The hood doesnt fit right,and the new front knuckles I just took off one of my otherr gen.1 chassis is now broken.It didnt come out as planned at all !!!

I'll try to get some pictures of the almost dead Vette.

I got the pictures last night,but I was tired,and went to sleep.I uploaded the pictures to photobucket.And now you all can see the pictures of the almost dead Vette.
















Look at the rear window,the headlight cover,and hood.

looks ok lots of orange peel and your missing some paint on the hood there

[snowboi1289]

Orange peel ?? Its red. The hood got stuck on the body,and when I got it off,some paint also came off,and you can see that its not good masking at all,but it looked like perfect masking when I put the tape on.

[123Vette]

orange peel is a term for wavy/bumpy paint, not the color of the car....

paint it glossey black, and then put chrome rims on it.

If you actually read my first post then you would know I'm going to paint it clossy red,its red,and staying red.
